Tornados...

What an absolutely scary and awful night we experienced last night. I am sure many of you have been following the storms that blew through the Southeast over the past few days... Yesterday was no exception.Thank you to all who called to check up on us, to make sure we were ok. A little shooken' up, but we are all safe and sound, as is the rest of our family.

The tornado's that came through from Middle TN area, to Greeneville were more than just a storm. An EF 3 tornado ripped through our county hitting several towns, and one town that was hit directly three times... Camp Creek, TN. This is only a few miles from our home.

Dean and I had prepared our "corner" in the basement and I don't think we did anything but sit on the couch with Jax and Liam sound asleep, watching the weather channel. Our local news had coverage, however we had pinpoint details watching the weather channel along with text alerts and our trusty, yet highly annoying weather radio. We took shifts taking the dogs, cat, and kids up and down the stairs, and finally resorted to leaving them be, while Dean and I took shifts sleeping until about 3:30 am. Definitely not a way to spend the night. Again, we got lots of wind, torrential downpours, some hail, and the best ligthning show I've ever seen, but sadly we have friends who's families lost everything, and then some.

We hope that this isn't a trend, and that we aren't going to be getting hit with tornados now, but unfortunantely, the new Tornado Alley is becoming more of the Southeast States...

Please keep our community in your thoughts and prayers...
